Lee Child has explained why fans of his Jack Reacher books didn’t approve of Tom Cruise’s casting in the film franchise.
Cruise played the former Military Police officer in two films in 2012 and 2016, but a contingent of book fans didn’t think he was right for the role.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk about the backlash to Cruise, author Child said: “There was criticism from the book fans, because they had built up a very clear image of what Reacher should look like.”
A Jack Reacher TV show, which has just been released on Amazon Prime Video, sees Smallville actor Alan Ritchson playing the role.
